Customer Reviews of Wheel of Fortune 3
The Same As 2nd Edition Wheel Of Fortune 2003 is exactly 2nd Edition with only new puzzles, and new videos. It seems that many new Infogrames games are "rehashes" of there older games, and only doing it for the money...Overall, if you've never bought a WoF game before, pick this one up, but if you all ready own 2nd edition, don't touch it! (Unless you want new puzzles.) Also, as other people have stated, no new game rules were added.
Pros:
Cheap Price
New Vanna Videos
Cons:
Exactly the same as 2nd Editon
No new game rules added
No new set "themes" added.
More of the Same
Just read the reviews, agree with all. What I said on WOF2 applies here. New company, cosmetic changes, same game. I hope there are at least 2500 or more different puzzles, and yes, this game should follow the current TV show. (Lightening rounds, and spin the bonus wheel). I too was really disappointed when I discouvered that the back ground sets were tha save as vol. 2.
As i said in my WOF 2 review, big bonus: Look quick and you see Pat and Vanna in the Hot Tub together.
Still, if one gets 5 stars, they all get 5 stars.
Who Needs Pat Sajak?
Never having bought the game until recently, I purchased "Wheel Of Fortune 3" because I knew it would be compatible with Windows XP. Therefore, I can't compare it to previous editions. The disc is a picture disc of the wheel itself, which is a nice touch. You can choose the length of the game you want to play. The options are a short 10 minute game, a standard 15 minute game, an extended 20 minute game, a 3 round game, a 4 round game and a 5 round game. In addition there are 10 settings in which to play the game itself: Hawaii, Great Outdoors, Orient Escape, Ultimate Adventure, 70's Retro, European Vacation, Fast Cars, New Orleans, Winter Sports and my personal favorite, Las Vegas.
After setting up the game options, the biggest surprise is that the host of the game is Vanna White, not Pat Sajak. Play proceeds pretty much like in the TV game show. To choose a letter, you can click and point on a particular letter, or you can type a letter in using the keyboard. I prefer the click and point method myself. The computer opponents are helpful because, as soon as they get a correct letter and win money, they almost always buy a vowel. In fact, they often buy more than one vowel, which certainly helps me figure out the puzzle. The first day I played the game I tried all 10 settings, and won 9 out of 10 games. Being the big winner does not guarantee success in the bonus round, as I only won 4 out of the 9 bonus prizes. This game is not too difficult to succeed at, and has more than enough options to make playing it very enjoyable.
